Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
2 Can “interested” in sentence (b) be replaced by “interesting” Why or why not
No, it can’t. Because “interested” usually indicates a person’s interest in something while “interesting” usually indicates something making a person interested. In sentence (b), the subject is “he”,which refers to a person.
a Every artist’s wish is to create something that expresses an idea.
b He was particularly interested in the old story about a fish jumping through the “Dragon Gate”.
c Yang Liping’s passion is dancing.
Read the passage and underline the predicatives.
One of my biggest dreams had always been to see the painting Girl with a Pearl Earring, by the Dutch artist, Vermeer. It wasn’t until we went on a trip to The Hague last year that this dream came true! There were lots of people waiting to enter the Mauritshuis. Although my legs were tired from walking around the city, I was determined to see the painting, which is often called the “Mona Lisa of the North”. Nobody is sure
of the identity of the girl in it. And there she was. It was amazing to
be standing in front of her at last! The girl is looking over her
shoulder. Her eyes are wide and her mouth is parted, just as if
she were about to speak. I would love to know what she was
going to say!

Summary
英语中可以作表语的
常见成分有哪些?
名词、动名词、
动词不定式、过去分词等
都可用作表语,
但它们所表示的含义
却各不相同。
动词不定式、动词-ing形式、动词-ed形式作表语
1. 动词不定式形式作表语时表示的动作往往是具体的、
一次性的动作,特别是将来的动作。通常主语是表示
“目的,愿望,梦想,需求”等的名词或what引导
的主语从句。例如:
My purpose is to climb to the top of the snow Mountain.
我的目标就是要爬到雪山的顶部。
2. 动名词作表语时表示一般性、习惯性的动作或抽
象的动作,大部分时候主语与表语可以互换。例如:
The real question is getting to know the needs of the
students.
= Getting to know the needs of the students is the real question.
真正的问题是了解学生的需求。
3.现在分词(短语)作表语是形容词性的,表示主语具有的特征和属性,主语和表语不可换位。
The news is really exciting.
4. 过去分词(短语)作表语时表示主语所处的状态或情感情绪等。
The cups are broken.杯子碎了。(broken表示主语的存在状态)
I am very disappointed at the news.
我对这个消息感到很失望。
(disappointed表示主语的情绪—感到失望)
区别几种易混情况
不定式做表语VS.动名词做表语
现在分词做表语VS.过去分词做表语
不定式做表语VS.不定式表将来
动名词做表语VS.现在分词用于进行时
过去分词做表语VS.过去分词用于被动语态
动词不定式与动词-ing作表语的区别
动名词(短语)作表语表示一般性的动作;
动词不定式(短语)作表语表示一次具体的动作或将要发生的事。
His hobby is painting. 他的爱好是画画。 (一般性的动作)
Today what he wants to do is (to) paint. 今天他想要做的事是画画。(具体的动作)
His wish is to become an artist. 他的愿望是成为一名艺术家。(将要发生的事)
过去分词与现在分词作表语的区别
英语中有很多与感觉有关的及物动词,
其现在分词意为“令人……的”,多用来修饰物;
其动词 ed意为“感到…的”,多用来指人/人的声音或表情等
Complete the following sentences with the correct
form of the verb in the blanket.
① Her job is _______(sell) computers.
We can see that he is _________ with the ___________ grades.(satisfy)
I was __________(surprise) at my new
classmates' strange behaviour.
selling
satisfied
surprised

不定式作表语用于说明主语“是什么”,和主语之间是相等的;不定式用来表示主语即将要执行的动作时,和主语之间是不相等的。
What he wanted to suggest is to cut down the price
and increase the sales.他想建议的是降价促销。
My American teacher is to leave China soon.
我的美国老师很快就要离开中国了。
注意:当主语部分含有动词do 的某种形式时,作表语的不定式可以省略to。
All you need to do is (to) press the button.
不定式作表语和不定式表示将来时的区别
动名词作表语说明主语“是什么”;现在分词用于进行时时,说明主语正在执行的动作。
Her work is taking care of the children.
她的工作是照顾小孩。(说明主语“是什么”)
She is taking care of the children.
她正在照料小孩。(说明她正在执行的动作)
动名词作表语和现在分词用于进行时的区别
过去分词作表语说明主语所处的状态;过去分词用于被动语态说明主语所承受的动作。
The cup is broken.杯子碎了。(说明杯子所处的状态)
The cup was broken by Peter. 杯子是被彼得打坏的。(说明杯子承受的动作)
The painting remains unfinished. 这幅画仍未完成。(说明画的状态)
The painting was finished by his apprentice.
(说明画承受的动作这幅画是由他的徒弟完成的。)

2 What other artists are famous for representing war and peace What are their best-known artworks
Since the earliest cave paintings, humans have been exhibiting art on walls. There has always been a connection between artists and their works, their points of view, and the viewers. Bringing artworks together into an exhibition enables all of us to experience the works, to respond to, to enjoy and to connect with them.
Art exhibitions can have many themes, such as a historical period, a location or a trend. Of them all, one everlasting source of inspiration is war and peace. Countless artists have been protesting wars and promoting peace via their works, including Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and Chinese artist Feng Zikai, to name just a couple.
